Sour Cream Banana Nut Bread

You may ask, how does one turn something like THIS....

...into something like THIS???

The ANSWER:  The addition of several other ingredients!

I present to you:

Willa's Sour Cream Banana Nut Bread!

1 2/3 cups of All Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1 stick of butter (melted)

1 cup of sugar

2 eggs

1 1/4 cups of mashed bananas

1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I used pecans)

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1/2 cup of sour cream

I almost never follow exact instructions of "add one eggs at a time" and things like that.  I put all the wet together and beat it up.  Then I add all the dry and beat it with my electric mixer until I see bubbles coming up out of the mix.

So, put the flour, baking soda & nuts in one bowl.  I whisked it around to mix it a little.

In another bowl, I beat on low - melted butter, sugar, eggs, bananas, vanilla and sour cream.

I added the dry mix and blended well.

Put into a loaf pan (buttered or oiled)

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

I buttered my loaf pan and the bottom stuck.  Poor me - I had to eat the crumbs that stuck in the bottom of the pan.  My mom filled me in on the wax paper trick.  Some of you may know this trick, but some may not.  So, I will explain.  Simply cut a piece of wax paper to fit in the bottom of your pan and it will not stick.  Poor me - then I will have no crumbs to eat.

You can eat the entire loaf.  You can freeze some of it.  You can put it into small loaf pans and share. 

I hope you all enjoy.

I am excited to share my new recipes with you all.
